What are the Glycogen sources?
Any type of food does not contain glycogen. Starch and carbohydrate will become glucose after entering our body. The glucose is then converted into glycogen by insulin. For what purpose? To maintain the blood sugar level. If the blood sugar level decreases, glucagon will convert the glycogen into glucose again.
How might your body senses when to convert glucose to glycogen and glycogen back to glucose?
Your body seeks to convert glucose to glycogen and glycogen to glucose based on hormonal signals that are secreted in response to an event. i.e. if you ate tons of sugary food, your body will secrete a hormone called insulin from the beta cells of the pancreas, so that glucose in the blood will be able to be stored as glycogen in the muscle cells.
